11
12* AbusiveParents: Is one to Esmeralda, in the anime.
13* AdaptationDyeJob: It is black in the manga.
14* AssholeVictim: He was really a cruel man, no surprise that Ikki certainly did not cry for his death.
15* DrillSergeantNasty: He is extremely brutal while training Ikki and insults and berates him at every second. It was routine for Ikki to be wounded and severely beaten up to the point of unconsciousness by this guy.
16* EvilMask: Wears a Balinese mask inspired by Rangda, a demonic, [[WouldHurtAChild child-eating]] queen eternally opposed to the forces of good.
17* EvilMentor: To Phoenix Ikki.
18* GoodScarsEvilScars: Take a guess...
19* KnewItAllAlong: Manga-only. [[spoiler:For unknown reasons, Guilty has knowledge about Ikki's real father being Mitsumasa Kido (and of his death!) and him being related to all of the other 99 orphans that the Graude Foundation had sent out into the world. He tells Ikki this information to give him one final push to embody his hatred and succeeds.]]
20* MalevolentMaskedMen: Of the monster face variant. In the anime, according to Esmeralda, he ''was'' a NiceGuy until [[BrainwashedAndCrazy he put on that mask]].
21* MentorOccupationalHazard: To Ikki. After Ikki finally landed a killing blow on him, he died proud to have taught Ikki to draw power from hatred.
22* NoNameGiven: Guilty is never refered to by name, neither within the manga nor the anime, with Ikki usually addressing him simply as "master". The name of Guilty comes from the ''Saint Seiya Taizen'', which also identifies him as being a Saint of unknown rank.
23* OffingTheOffspring: In the anime, where he does not give a damn about his daughter Esmeralda. Worse, he acts very nonchalant towards killing her.
24* RuleOfDrama: Arguably ''why'' he was made Esmeralda's father in the anime.
25* TeachHimAnger: He teaches Ikki not to have positive feelings and regard for anyone, and to hate everyone and everything. It worked all too well, for Ikki's Cosmo as a Saint is often said to be filled with hatred and hostility. As a kid, Ikki himself was known to be Shun's gentle, caring elder brother, but even after his HeelFaceTurn, [[BrokenAce he never was quite the same person again]] after all what Guilty put him through.
26* TheSpartanWay: He uses violent and brutal training methods.
27* TrainingFromHell: Gave it to Ikki. All Saints are put through a very tough training, but Guilty's is just... wow.
28* WouldHurtAChild: He accidentally killed his own daughter and then gloated about it. He also has no qualms always brutalizing Ikki at every training match they have.

36
37* CurbStompBattle: Ikki defeats him easily.
38* TheDon: Said in the anime to be the leader of ALL [[TheMafia the mafias]] and terrorist groups in the world.
39* GoodScarsEvilScars: Half of his face is horribly burned, as you can see.
40%%* JerkAss
41* MindRape: How Ikki deals with him. He sees himself falling and melting in the lava of Death Queen Island.
42* ObviouslyEvil: Is the leader of the Black Saints (in the manga, before Ikki claims the Phoenix Cloth from him, in the anime after Seiya rescues Saori from Jamian).

52!!!'''Black Phoenix''' Voiced By: Masashi Hironaka (JP), Mike [=MacRae=] (ADV EN)
53
54* AlasPoorVillain: Black Dragon as he dies after clashing with Shiryu, touched by his counterpart's belief in friendship, and deciding to save his life before dying himself.
55** [[spoiler: In the manga, Seiya feels this way for them when they are all killed by the Silver Saints after being tricked by Mu's illusions that made them think that they have killed the real Bronze Saints instead. Because of this, Seiya swears to fight the Silver Saints on their behalf as well.]]
56* AdaptedOut: In the original manga, Black Dragon had a twin, who does not appear in the anime version. In Anime/SaintSeiyaKnightsOfTheZodiac, they are replaced by completely different characters.
57* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Black Dragon.
58* CloneDegeneration: The real Phoenix Ikki is so evil that there were at least five Black Phoenixes. However, they are a helluva lot weaker than the other Black Saints.
59** But in the anime, an actual Black Phoenix (more powerful than the others, who were mere {{Mooks}} in black Phoenix Cloths) was added. He appeared after Ikki made his HeelFaceTurn, so obviously Ikki fought this counterpart, just like the other Bronze Saints had faced theirs before him.
60* DarkIsEvil: Not only the cloth, even their attacks are black themed.
61* DirtyCoward: Black Andromeda attacking Shun when he was trying to rescue an injured Seiya from the bottom of a cliff after his battle with Black Pegasus.
62* EffectiveKnockoff: This can be said of Black Dragon. The man is actually and by a wide margin the strongest of the four Black Saints we are given to see, being able to literally manhandle Shiryu with his FINGER. Also, Shiryu is constrained in using his strongest attack in a weakened state, which could and would have killed him if Black Dragon did not have a change of heart at the last moment.
63* EvilCounterpart: To the five main Bronze Saints. Kurumada has stated that every Saint (bronze and silver) has a black counterpart.
64* EvilGloating: They do a lot of that.
65* EvilTwin: They look just like the Bronze Saints, but evil!
66** Black Dragon even has a twin brother in the manga. Thus Shiryu not only has an evil twin, but an evil twin's twin!
67* EyeScream: Manga only. Black Swan takes out his own eye and sends it to Ikki to inform him of Hyoga's technique. The anime changes this to him instead sending Ikki the swan on is helmet.
68* NobleDemon: Black Dragon. At the end of their fight, instead of attacking Shiryu, he hits Shiryu's vital point to stop his bleeding and says that he wanted to believe in the friendship which Shiryu had spoken during combat, [[RedemptionEqualsDeath and soon dies from the wounds from Shiryu's last blow]].
69* ObviouslyEvil: Supposedly former Saints (or trainees) who were stripped from their title and Cloth and banned from the Sanctuary for using their strength for personal gain, turning to a life of crime and violence.
70* PaintItBlack: They are like the Bronze Saints, but evil!
71* PoisonIsEvil: What makes Black Pegasus different from Seiya. The difference is that shortly after hitting its target (through their Cloth), there are dark spots all over the body of the ending completely covering it, causing the sensation of burning himself from within. Once the body of the enemy is completely black, they die.
72* ThePsychoRangers: To the Bronze Saints.
73** More generally, to ''all'' Saints except the Gold ones: the first Black Saints managed to produce copies of the Bronze and Silver Cloths, but as they lacked the full knowledge of the process and Athena's permission recognition, those Black Cloths are markedly inferior to the originals, being easily shattered by the blows of any Bronze Saint.
74* TakeUpMySword: Black Swan could have survived, had he simply surrendered... But instead he sacrificed his life to send Ikki the knowledge about the Aurora Thunder Attack and survive, and masked it by [[TakingYouWithMe blowing himself up to try and take Hyoga down as a bonus]].

79[[folder: Crystal Saint]]
80[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PC06-Crystal2_5267.jpg]]
81!!!'''Voiced By:''' Michihiro Ikemizu (JP), Leo Allan (ADV EN), Creator/MikeHaimoto (Sentai/Netflix EN)
82
83* AnimalMotifs: A blue swan.
84* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The Pope pulled this on him, thus forcing Hyoga to kill him.
85* DecompositeCharacter: Is the master of Hyoga in the anime and the substitute to Camus in all the flashbacks of the training.
86* DyingAsYourself: After being struck to death by Hyoga, he regains control of himself and, as his last act, destroys the ice pyramid built for Arles by Gigas and collapses into the arms of his pupil. Before giving up the ghost, he asks for forgiveness for what he had done to Hyoga.
87* GoodIsNotDumb: Was also aware that something wrong went on in the Sanctuary, so he tried to talk to the Pope himself. It backfired. '''Horribly'''.
88* MasterApprenticeChain: Aquarius Camus taught the Crystal Saint, who taught Hyoga.
89* MentorOccupationalHazard: To Hyoga.
90* NoNameGiven: His real name and his constellation is unknown. Some fan circles have associated him with the constellation of Corona Borealis for the sake of completion.
91* WaifFu: EXTREMELY RareMaleExample. His body is unnaturally flexible without being a RubberMan, thus he uses his hands ''and'' legs to apply the ''Freezing Fists'' to Hyoga's almost whole body.
92* ShooOutTheNewGuy: Due to the anime, which had OverTookTheManga, Crystal Saint was declared Hyoga's Master instead of Camus. The only explanation they could give was that Camus was Crystal Saint's Master and that Hyoga's fight was with his Master's Master. This explanation worked for a while until the Hades OVA where it started showing scenes of Camus training Hyoga instead. It doesn't help that some video games and media keep [[ContinuitySnarl altering between Camus/Crystal as Hyoga's Master who trained him]].

96[[quoteright:169:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PC02-Geist_6968.jpg]]
97!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/ChiyokoKawashima (JP), Kaytha Coker (ADV EN)
98
99* BeautifulAllAlong: Without her mask, to the viewers surprise.
100* CoolMask: Geist mask has fangs and facial markings similar to Shaina's mask, but they run down the cheeks of the mask, like tears. The mask is also locked into a sneer, whereas the masks of Athena's saints are completely expressionless.
101* DarkActionGirl: Just like Shaina, whom she respects like a sister.
102* DubNameChange: Known as "Morgana" in Italy. Yes, like in Morgan Le Fay.
103* TheExile: The former Pope did not agree with their practices and she was expelled from the Sanctuary.
104* FemmeFatalons: Has long and sharp, violet-lacquered nails as Shaina.
105* FillerVillain: Of the arc where she steal the helmet of Golden Armor of Sagittarius.
106* MasterOfIllusion: Geist creates illusions and can deal a powerful blow, which is not defined clearly as a physical or mental power.
107* RedEyesTakeWarning: Before she casts her illusions.

118* ElectricJellyfish: Jellyfish can release a powerful electrical discharge through the tentacles.
119* TheFaceless: You never see their face.
120* FillerVillain: Of Geist's arc.
121* NonstandardCharacterDesign: More like the mascots of Sea World. Even their "Cloths" are basically rubber suits, while standard Cloths patterned after marine-life constellations (and the actual Scales of Poseidon's Marine Generals) are still metallic and sectioned suits of armor.
122* PunchPunchPunchUhOh: The reaction of whoever punches Sea Serpent.
123* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Geist's sidekicks.

131!!!'''Marine Cloth Ushio''' Voiced By: Creator/HochuOtsuka (JP), Creator/ChrisAyres (ADV EN)
132
133* AnimalMotifs: The Toucan, Fox, and Swordfish, respectively.
134* BigDamnHeroes: The point of their existence is to occasionally bail out the Bronze Saints. However, their success is directly tied to the element of surprise and how disconcerting their very existence is to regular Saints--any legitimate Saint wise to their appearance can mop the floor with them with little trouble.
135* CanonForeigner: They appear only in the anime. (and in Anime/SaintSeiyaOmega now)
136* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: They kind of just...disappear when Seiya and the gang leave for Sanctuary. They're last seen when Shun arrives at the meeting place carrying June but aren't shown boarding or being on the plane afterwords. Oddly enough, [[AdvertisedExtra they are still shown on the eyecatches]] for the rest of the Sanctuary arc despite their absence. They end appearing again in ''Saint Seiya Omega''.
137* CoolBoard: Daichi can [[TransformingMecha transform]] his cloth into one.
138* EnergyAbsorption: Sho's armor can absorb energy attacks, and then unleash the stored energy.
139* KidAppealCharacter: All three, but especially Daichi.
140* LandSeaSky:
141** Sho: Sky
142** Daichi: Earth (Land)
143** Ushio: Marine (Sea)
144* MerchandiseDriven: Their vehicle cloths can actually be put together to create one big robot. It never quite made [[AbortedArc it to the anime]]...
145** By the scenario and staff's admission, their addition could not even fulfill a purpose in the scenario as the protagonist ensemble cast was already complete and well-rounded.
146* PowerArmor: Quite a literal example. The trio's cloths are all science and no "magic", being cybernetically-augmented armors that rely on gadgetry and the user's skills to carry them through.
147* RedIsHeroic: Sho, the leader of the trio, is the one wearing the red armor.
148* SuperSpeed: While technically all Saints have it, the Steel Saints are capable of using it without resorting to Cosmo powers.

151[[folder: Docrates]]
152[[quoteright:167:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PC01-Docrates2_7145.jpg]]
153!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/MasaharuSato (JP), Dan Mackey (ADV EN)
154
155* AvengingTheVillain: He is Cassios' older brother. Docrates tells Seiya that it's his fault Cassios did not become a Saint and he is now going to avenge him.
156* TheBigGuy: Docrates may be the tallest Saint shown in the anime, perhaps surpassing Taurus Aldebaran. This is not the case in the manga, since Docrates is anime-only.
157* BlowYouAway: In the attack, '''Heracles Fierce Onslaught Fist''', Docrates crosses, then flexes his arms, concentrating his Cosmo in his fists and causing the winds around of him to change due to the pressure. Next, he attacks with both fists, projecting two powerful blasts which affect a large area.
158* TheBrute: A cold and aggressive character, full of mischief. He has extremely high physical strength derived from its huge size and musculature.
159* CanonForeigner: His first appearance is parallel to the appearance of Lizard Misty in the manga. After that, the story diverges.
160* FillerVillain: His appearance in the anime creates a different storyline than the manga, with the emergence of several unique characters.
161** You can tell since he's the only villain in the entire series who decides to ''[[ScrewThisImOutOfHere bail]]'' when the [[PoliceAreUseless cops]] show up!
162* GiantMook: He leads [[MiniMook several henchmen]], dressed like him as well.
163* MusclesAreMeaningless: Adverted, his great strength and size actually forced the Bronze Saints to use teamwork in order to defeat him.
164** However he fought the Bronze Saints, each time when they were ''not'' at full strength. Hell, the only reason why they flee from him in the first place is because of the very tough battle they just had with ''Ikki'', and it takes them a while to return to full power in series.
165* NotDrawnToScale: At the end of one episode, he was holding Saori around her waist with ONE HAND and Tatsumi in the other. (It seems Shingo Araki likes these a lot, and that ItRunsInTheFamily since Cassios did the same to Seiya)
166* PunnyName: His name is a portmanteau of "Socrates" and "Doku" ("poison" in Japanese, since he is a villain).
167* WolverineClaws: Blink and you'll miss, but they come out when he's about to perform a finishing move on Seiya in episode 17 to rip off his ears.

172!!!'''Voiced By:''' Ken Yamaguchi (JP), Andy Nelson (ADV English)
173
174* CurbStompBattle: He was painfully curbstomped by Ikki.
175* EvilRedhead: Maybe. Like most fighters sanctuary this time, he doesn't know the Pope is a fake and believing that could mean for him that he thought he was following Athena's will. However, he seems to have a sadistic and cruel nature, given the pleasure he has in torturing Shun with his flames.
176* FillerVillain: He is a warrior under Gigas' command, accompanying the latter to Japan in a last attempt to recover the helmet of the Gold Cloth of Sagittarius. He is an anime-only character.
177* MalevolentMaskedMan
178* NoNameGiven: His real name and constellation is unknown. {{Fanon}} has given him the constellation of Fornax (The Furnace)
179* PlayingWithFire: He can throw jets of flame that surround the victim.
180* UndyingLoyalty: To Gigas.

187!!!'''Spica''' Voiced By: Creator/MasamiKikuchi (JP), Mike Vance (ADV EN)
188
189* AmbiguousSituation: It is not known if they have died after fighting Shun, or only get knocked out (because Shun does not usually kill his opponents unless necessary). However, one of them is confirmed to be at least given some very nasty EyeScream payback.
190* {{Filler Villain}}s
191* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Named after Leda, the queen of Sparta who was seduced by Zeus as a Swan.
192* NoNameGiven: Their constellations. Some {{fanon}} sources give Spica's constellation as Cassiopeia and speculate Cassiopeia, Bootes, Austral Fish or Male Hydra for Reda.
193* PaletteSwap: Save for the heads, shoulder pieces and chain ends, their armors too have man boobs.
194* {{The Rival}}s: Like Shun, they were candidates to obtain the bronze Andromeda Cloth.
195* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In other language dubs, they are known as Reda and Spika.
196* StellarName: Spica is the brightest star in the Virgo Constellation.
197* VariableLengthChain: Their weapons of choice.
